You're unlikely to find more flexibility and playfulness in this price segment

The iPad magazine HiFi-Vision ordered five compact nuVero 50 multifunctional loudspeakers and the bass-potent nuVero AW-17 subwoofer to test a 5.1 set in a class of its own - and the result was unreservedly outstanding. Test result: full score of 5/5 stars in the gold class and the ‘Highlight’ award! ‘This set creates a spatiality that you would never have expected from compact universal loudspeakers. The sound carpet is finely woven, dialogues and effects are carefully separated and voluminously reproduced. Nubert has done a marvellous job of fine-tuning. The dynamic range is huge, with plenty of pressure and energy available. 

‘In the test lab, the nuVero 50 proves to be a model student ... Anyone looking for a speaker with almost perfect omnidirectional behaviour will find it in the Nubert. Its frequency response is a delight; even at angles below the 30-degree mark, the transducer remains confident and does not dip in quality. You learn to appreciate this positive trait when you give a nuVero 50 the role of centre speaker ...

Whilst other subwoofers may only have this designation on paper, the nuVero AW-17 turns out to be a true bass artist in reality. The lower cut-off frequency is an impressive 18 Hertz - not many can compete with that ... It turns every film night into an experience because it makes the action from the screen audible and tangible, transporting the immense power of the action into the living room. Five nuVero 50 speakers are the ideal partners ...’

Conclusion: ‘Five nuVero 50 plus the nuVero AW-17 active subwoofer, and the perfect surround set is configured. The individual components harmonise magnificently, the acoustic homogeneity is excellent and the spatial imaging is unique. The nuVero 50s provide many arguments in favour of buying them: not only do they sound excellent and are compact, but they are also suitable for horizontal and vertical mounting, work capriciously on the wall and even function as Dolby Atmos speakers for reproducing the treble channels. The nuVero AW-17 proves to be an ingenious partner - you won't find so much pressure and depth in its class. You're unlikely to find more flexibility and enjoyment than these five friends with an extra joker in this price segment.’ (Issue 27/2019)
